Drop or no Drop

I have a 2003 Infiniti QX4. It's like the 2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder. I used a 2" drop when I had my 2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited.
I don't know if I will go to a 1" drop or NO drop.
I can go by trial and error but I was wondering if someone already had the same kind of vehicle and then they could just tell me.

Adjust the jack on the trailer so the frame is level to the ground. Measure the distance to the top of the hitch ball connector. The top of the ball on your hitch should be this height or slightly higher, assuming you will use a WD hitch to level the rigs after hooking up.


Thanks. I'll try this.

The wife had the same vehicle and you CAN use a WD hitch with it, though we never tried as we never towed with it. It has the conventional frame like a truck. Don't know the answer to the OP's question, but I would get the 1" drop to start and flip it over if it's too low.

No one can answer this question since part of the equation depends on the profile of the trailer.
